Nacelle is the big one for me, I just need to see the finished figures soon. Especially with new waves on the horizon.

I'm really excited for Nacelle's line. I hope they can stick to the timeline, considering the Expanse figures have not yet shipped. Do we know if the Nacelle Trek figures will be available at retail, like the Biker Mice and Sectaurs figures?

I do believe that when it was first announced that Nacelle was doing Star Trek figures that they would be available at physical retailers. I've seen some of their stuff at my local Walmart, so I don't want to doubt them, but the pessimist in me will believe it when I see it, lol...

Any idea what happened to the plan Playmate's Toys apparently had to continue making ships and role play toys? I'm guessing that died quickly after the figure line died, but a little part of me was hoping they'd get at least one more ship released.

@Wil Playmates is dead. I think the ships comments was just trying to save face. Ok am I crazy or was there a BVS interview where he alluded to some BIG reveal he would only be able to talk about at STLV? I swear he said something like “it will make our goal of 100 figures make sense”. So far…like the previews they gave…cool accessories…but nothing shocking?

Anyone else getting a Little worried about MR? I know they did tell people at STLV that the tariff thing set them back a bit…I remember people saying how Ben Robinson was pretty communicative….but I’ve seen maybe 1 interview with him and then absolute crickets…no new pre-orders…seen comments about behind the scenes disagreements over accessories…website shows Q3 shipping which I think we’re well past….

@nottelling56789 Last update I think they said something about shipping in October. I guess we’ll see. I can’t really say that I am impressed by Master Replicas “efforts” on keeping us updated. A couple of the sculptors are on Instagram and have shared many behind the scenes pictures. So they are actively working on the line. Just no idea about the hold up.

Yeah I am seeing a lot of frustration starting to be vocalized about MR. I too noticed the sculptors posts and they seem way more enthusiastic than MR themselves. If we don’t see any movement/news by end of month I’m going to assume we’re getting them as soon as Hiya releases 09 prime Spock.

Not sure if anyone still here is interested in the 1/6th scale stuff from EXO-6, but one of their most recent figures that went up for pre-order was a Spock based on Star Trek Beyond. I didn't know they were developing any figures from the Kelvin timeline movies, but I appreciate that they are. Not sure who they'll announce next, but my number 1 want is a Karl Urban Bones.

Those Exo-6’s are incredible looking. But I just can’t justify spending that kind of $ to collect….I can barely justify the AA/DST collection I’ve done in the last year off of EBAY. But I can also see why they are so much. Love you can attach the phasers/tricorders. I assume it’s via magnet. I actually recommended that to BVW. They are doing BEM with magnets…why not some phaser holsters!? Anyhow, jealous of anyone who’s got the EXO-6’s. In other news…in absolute shock..and I can’t tell if in my neck of the USA woods…but some people appear to have actually gotten Hiya 09 Pike as pics are popping up on social media. In other other news…while BVW appeared to clarify in his “My Figure Universe” interview (factory is a very loose canon with being on schedule)…when T’Pol & BEM art renders came out BVW very specifically said wave 1 shipping before 11/1. Seems that’s changed again and now it’s “before 12/25”. Really appreciate how communicative BVW is and prefer his direct approach…but waiting for these damn figures is killing me lol. Also, Amazon USA formally has them up/listed(as opposed to the pre-listing page people were seeing a month or so ago) but is showing not shipping until 2/1! I actually wonder how that works with when stuff is finally back from the factory/shipping ready to when Amazon gets them. I also wonder what “cut” Amazon gets of the $. In fact, I’d love to hear BVW’s clarity on that. Obviously buying direct from Nacelle is cutting out the middle man…and I’m sure they would never not encourage customers to work with their selling partners…but…does it help them having people buy via various methods ie Amazon, Wal Mart, direct…or deep down they want to cast the widest net but buying direct from them helps $ the most? Someone broach this with BVW on social media??
